Started smelling fuel after filling up, steadly getting worse over the months, dealer suggested replacing fuel cap which I did ( I noticed was updated with a better seal). After replacing it helped a bit. After checking closer noticed the filler neck on the tank is very thin aluminum and the surface is deformed not allowing the cap to seat properly.

The gas fuel gauge just stopped working. First it started to read wrong then it just stopped working all together. This happened at about 35,000 miles.
Have had several issues with rear brake failure. Rear brake pedal goes all the way down, and does not engage the brakes. No leak signs of any fluid. This seems to be a serious problem with victory motorcycles after doing some research on line. Www.Vision-riders.Com. I have had my bike in the shop several times with this issue. The brakes were bled every time the rear brakes failed. I was traveling on a city street, a black in color chevrolet truck had pulled out in front of me. I immediately applied by front and...

rear breaks. When I applied my rear brakes, the pedal went down to the floor. I downshifted as fast has I could in order to avoid striking the vehicle. Victory dealership stated that no recalls have been put out by victory. Please look into this matter before someone gets hurt or even killed. Thank you. *Tr
I was driving my victory vision and my fuel gauge started to not work correctly. I had a almost full tank of fuel and the indicator read low fuel. I was on a long trip from ohio back to the northern virginia area. After a about 100 miles it started to work again. Now it will not work correctly at all mostly reads low fuel and the fuel dictator light is on it will go off for a few seconds only. No matter how much fuel is in the fuel tank. So you can not read the fuel gauge at all. The gauge this also effects the...

mile indicator and other items on the fuel system gauges. The light staying on is also distracting. The system is electronic so this is a big problem. This is a safety problem. Victory really needs to address this problem as soon as possible. Please assist I think this is a recall item. *Tr
Bought a 2011 victory vision motorcycle from day one it has a strong raw gas smell.The dealer says that there is nothing wrong that is just the it is. I think that it's a safety issue. *Js
Defective gas cap my issue is that I smelled gas when the tank was half a tank or fuller. I bought the 2009 victory vision tour new in 2010. I could sometimes see gas around the cap on the outside due to the pressure in the tank. I've found others have had this issue due and resolved by: *reengineering the gas tank vent lines *bent gas tank filler neck due to the gas nozzle bending it. Resolved by straightening out and replacing gas cap. * Replacing gas cap because of gas tank neck being stamped too thin and...

the gas cap not sealing correctly. I went to moms south yesterday explaining this issue. In fact several months ago one of their tech's removed a gas cap from another bike and gave it to me. I went back to acquired about a gas cap upgrade that victory makes. I was told they do have an upgraded cap but there is no recall on the stock one. I found this odd since there have been so many complaints with this issue. I folded and opted to buy one for 41.95 Which is basically a stock cap with a screw added inside in the middle. The new gas cap has solved my problem. I would think that the old caps should be recalled since this could lead to a fire in the event of an accident never mind the ongoing smell of fuel. *Tr
Extreme fuel odor, especially after filling up with fuel. Many have reported similar situation on various blog sites. Gas cap seal may not seal tight. *Tr
2009 Victory vision motorcycle. Dfu july 09 since day one, heavy fuel smell, vapors. Found lots of others on the internet making the same complaint. Finally, the servicing dealer agreed to order a new designed fuel cap for me. I found this to be a common remedy on the internet and told them. Now 90 days later, no fuel cap. He said he can't get it. I called polaris customer service, and they acted totally uninformed, and gave me the run around, sending me back to the dealer for resolution. They kept wanting...

to get off the phone and have me research the new fuel cap part number. I thought they should know this. They said they can't do anything to help but steer me back to the helpless dealer. I insisted they do the research, get their own part number and call me back with a resolution. I told them I would notify nhtsa either way. There are hundreds/thousands of owners out there with this problem and victory chose to evade responsibility and remedy. *Tr
